Many women may find that their nipples and areolas have undergone many changes compared to adolescence. Among them, the color and size of the nipple and areola show the most significant changes. What is the reason for the enlargement and blackening of the areola, and how should breasts be cared for?
What's wrong with the large and black areola?
1. Genetic factors
When some girls are born, their parents find that their daughter's areola is larger than that of an ordinary child. If there are no accompanying malignant symptoms, this may be caused by genetic factors.
2. Solar radiation
In summer, when swimming outdoors and wearing thin bikinis, if sun protection measures are not taken, the radiation of sunlight and ultraviolet rays will also deepen the areola.
3. Overstimulation
Women engage in frequent sexual activity, breastfeeding their children, bathing with a sponge brush, and using the wrong method to remove keratin can also cause melanin to settle.
As women age, the secretion of luteinizing hormone increases, which also stimulates the increase of melanin, and the areola changes from light pink to brown.
4. Rough underwear
When the underwear is rough, the friction with the breasts increases significantly, the sebum layer in the areola thickens, and melanin accumulates.
5. High estrogen
For women with high levels of estrogen, blackening of nipples, areola, and labia is a healthy female characteristic. In postmenopausal women, due to low estrogen levels, the nipples, areola, and labia will turn pink. Melanin pigment increase, physiological dysfunction, menopausal production function factors, slow metabolism of epidermal cells.
How should breasts be cared for?
1. Do not use too high water temperature when cleaning breasts
We do Spring cleaning and bathing every day. When the water is too hot, it will bring some stimulation to the chest. At this time, it is not good for breast health. The favorite water temperature of the breast is 37 degrees. Wash the chest with 37 degrees warm water
2. Do you also use detergent for breast washing? Yes,
If you often use alkaline soap or shower gel to clean your chest, some of the ingredients can damage the surface of your skin, making your chest skin dry. It is recommended to use non irritating facial cleanser to clean your chest, or do not use anything at all. Wash directly with clean water.
3. Do breast skin also need to be moisturized? Undoubtedly, everyone knows what happens if the skin is dehydrated, so the skin of the breasts also needs to be well moisturized. Therefore, after cleaning the breast, it is best to massage the breast with body lotion, while staying on the areola for one minute.
